Trinity Episcopal Church Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania Labyrinth and Meditation Path

The Trinity Mount Pocono Labyrinth and Mediataion Path became a possibilty when the parish acquired 5 acres of land adjoining the original parcel. When it was time to "beat the bounds" Charley Day developed the meditation path. The Rt. Rev. Paul V. Marshall, bishop of the Diocese of Bethlehem, joined us in celebration as we walked the path and dedicated our use of the land to God with drums, music, incense and prayer. Markers were placed along the path which became the Stations of the Cross.

A site was selected for a labyrinth, and youth from Province 3 helped to clear the area. Parishioners joined in this work which began with a time of prayer for our use of the land and for those who would seek to make this spiritual journey.

With the help of Lyle Hixenbaugh, the labyrinth was laid out so that one faces Jerusalem upon entering it. Drawings of the vision were provided by Peter Salmon and the work was done by parishioners and local craftsmen. The Tae Kwon Do class, after making use of the path and the labyrinth, provided attractive benches for travelers.

Directions: One mile south of Mt. Pocono (S R 940) just off S R 611 (across from Happy Trails Riding Stables) on Trinity Hill Rd.
